After the game, the Warriors once again made the headlines of major media:
The Warriors got off to a good start with a big win over the Lakers in the opening game, and the road to defending the title is bright!
47-point victory! The Warriors beat the Lakers again!
Curry's efficiency was astonishing. He scored 28 points, 15 assists and 10 rebounds in 24 minutes of play. He achieved a triple-double in the shortest time in history!
Prince Miandunk once again contributed two dunks, and Oracle Arena fans celebrated wildly!
The Warriors' bench is extremely strong, and they are no match for the Lakers' starters!
The strongest substitute in the league is no longer controversial, the Golden State Gang is back!
…
The Warriors won their first game and beat the Lakers. This result did not surprise Deng Fang.
The Warriors' current lineup can absolutely crush them in any season!
What's more, Deng Fang's ideas were much ahead of this era!
Deng Fang's next task is to get the substitutes to get used to it as quickly as possible.
Although they won by a big score, the Warriors' substitute performance did not actually meet Deng Fang's expectations.
Kirilenko still resists throwing three-pointers.
Hayward's three-point shooting is quite accurate, but he is still a little timid on the defensive end.
Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian played well, but they did not show their full potential.
Of course, it's not their fault.
After all, this is their first game after coming to the Warriors!
As a head coach, a certain amount of patience is still needed.
…
After the opening game, the Warriors also began their away trip.
Five consecutive guests!
Rockets, Timberwolves, Magic, Wizards, Nuggets, plus the Lakers in the opening game, six games in ten days!
I wonder if the person who designed the schedule has a grudge against the Warriors!
The first is last year's Western Conference Finals opponent, the Lakers, and the next is five consecutive away games!
This is very difficult for any team!
But the Warriors are not afraid!
The biggest concern with the intensive schedule is that the players' physical fitness cannot keep up.
But the Warriors have a lot of people playing ball!
There is no way the Warriors have this problem.
Even Curry only played 30 minutes in the most game!
No one else took more than 25 minutes!
This amount of playing time is just enough for the young Warriors to warm up!
tired?
nonexistent!
Garbage time?
impossible!
There is no garbage time here with the Warriors!
A new opponent has finally arrived, and playing time has finally arrived. Why not play hard and wait for it?
Against the Rockets, the Warriors won by 51 points!
Lowry showed great power against his old team, and Deng Fang also gave him enough face.
Starting game!
Play two point guards with Curry!
Curry plays shooting guard, Lowry plays the point guard!
What an honor this is!
Curry is a double MVP!
The Warriors were the championship last season!
Let Curry hand over the ball and let Curry play without the ball!
Why Lowry?
Just rely on Deng Fang’s trust!
You are asked to serve as a substitute because of the needs of the team, not because of your lack of ability!
In the Warriors, everything is based on ability!
Curry can become the boss not because the head coach is biased, but because he is great!
You can shoot Curry's incredible three-pointers. If you have the gravity of Luo, then you can take Curry's place!
Of course, Deng Fang didn't start Lowry just because he was playing against the Rockets.
Lowry and Curry playing dual point guards has always been a lineup that Deng Fang wanted to experiment with.
Lowry's defense is great, and he is also a three-point threat on the offensive end. If he plays with two point guards, he can also increase the team's offensive options!
It would be nice to let Curry play off the ball occasionally!
It can not only save energy, but also enrich the team's offensive routine!
Lowry also lived up to Deng Fang's hopes, playing 25 minutes and contributing 32 points, 11 assists, and 10 rebounds!
Five of the assists came from passes to Curry!
It has to be said that every player will burst out with extraordinary energy when facing their old boss!
I'm going to show you what a wrong choice it was to abandon me!
The next match against the Timberwolves and Warriors was even more ineffective. After only one and a half quarters, the point difference widened to 40 points!
In order to be less noticeable and keep a low profile, Deng had no choice but to field a mixed lineup: Lowry, Jeremy Lin, Hayward, Kirilenko and Yi Jianlian.
There are people from both the first and second groups on the court, so no matter how many points you win, you can’t tell whose contribution it is!
Don't be too impulsive...
Of course, Deng Fang did not simply want to get through the remaining time. He still assigned tasks to the players on the field:
Throw a three-pointer!
Throw it decisively!
The few newcomers to the Warriors have a hidden danger, and that is their inconsistent three-point shooting.
Jeremy Lin's three-pointers were unreliable, Kirilenko was also inaccurate, and Yi Jianlian could only reach the league average.
Although these guys were pretty good when they came down for training, they were no longer good once they got on the court.
In the final analysis, I still have no confidence in my three-point shooting.
In this case, let’s throw it in the game!
Make your three-pointers in games the same as in training!
Lowry or Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian pick and roll, and after the block, Yi Jianlian bounces out.
If the opponent flanks the point guard, pass the ball to Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian will decisively shoot a three-pointer!
Don't push in!
As long as I don't knock you down, I'll shoot a three-pointer!
Determined to vote!
If the opponent switches defense, let the point guard make a small hit and throw a big three-pointer!
If the opponent helps defend against a double attack, pass the ball out and let Kirilenko or Hayward shoot a three-pointer!
Lowry has always been inaccurate with three-pointers before. He practiced hard in the offseason and the results are very good, but it has yet to be tested in the game.
Jeremy Lin is not good at three-pointers, so he has never liked to shoot three-pointers.
The same goes for Kirilenko.
Deng Fang gave the death order, just throw it away!
If it doesn't go in, it's mine, if it does, it's yours!
You may not make the shot, but you can’t not throw it!
The tasks assigned by Deng Fang were very clear and the team members performed them well.
Just throw it away!
Don’t worry if you can’t throw it in, so who else wouldn’t dare to throw it in?
Suddenly, arrows rained down from the Warriors' side!
The Warriors players were very obedient and resolute in their execution, but the results were not ideal.
Or very ideal!
Throwing three-pointers is a very simple task, but maintaining a high shooting percentage is not easy!
Kirilenko has always been average in three-point shooting, and Jeremy Lin is even more so.
Although Yi Jianlian has always been a shooting power forward, his three-point shooting is also unstable.
Yi Jianlian relies more on CIC for his livelihood.
Although the Timberwolves are a bad team, they are not stupid on the defensive end.
Lowry cannot be released, Hayward must be guarded, and others are free to do so!
Anyway, we are 40 points behind, so what else is there to lose?
The Timberwolves are betting that the Warriors' rookies can't make shots.
As a result, they won the bet!
In five minutes, Jeremy Lin, Kirilenko and Yi Jianlian took a total of 8 three-pointers, but only hit 1!
The Warriors missed a three-pointer, and the Timberwolves counterattacked.
The score difference instantly returned to 8 points.
However, Deng Fang was not in a hurry. This was an inevitable result of the changes in the team's lineup.
There is only one Curry in the world!
For Kirilenko and others, they must rely on a large number of shots to find feel, rhythm, and confidence in shooting!
As long as these people find their confidence, what does losing mean?
